I along with many others are deeply saddened by Akira Toriyama’s passing. He single handily made up most of our childhoods and is probably the reason why we are into anime. I have done nothing but cry this morning. I pray for his family and close friends. RIP Akira Toriyama🙏🏾 May your soul be at peace. You were and will always be a legend👏🏾

I feel like not enough people understand equity versus equality when it comes to representation (or anything else, honestly, but im sticking to representation for now).

I'm gonna use the new little mermaid movie as my primary example here because it seems like that's what people have been up in arms over these days. One of the arguments I'm seeing is, "If you made Tiana or Moana white, you guys would be mad." You mean Tiana, whose background is rooted in being a Black woman in 1920s Louisiana? You mean Moana, whose entire story is based on her being Polynesian? You're comparing them being made white to a character whose only story-specific trait is that she has a fishtail being Black? Really?

But aside from that, this argument also comes up with different fanart interpretations. I see it on platforms like TikTok, mainly when a Black creator shares their fanart where they made certain white characters Black or mixed. The comments are filled with more of the same. "But if it was the other way around, there would be a problem."

People don't understand that for many, many years, white people were the default in shows, books, and other media. The other day, I was talking to a friend about how the media I consumed as a child made me assume that everyone I met online was white until proven otherwise. People of color have needed to create their own representation through fan content because where else would we get it? Being the "default," white people have an advantage. There are seven white Disney princesses (depending on who you ask). There is one Black Disney princess in the form of Tiana. If you make Ariel Black, NOTHING changes; there are still seven white Disney princesses because the original Ariel the Mermaid is still there. She does not go away. But if you make the live adaptation character Black, it adds to Black representation.

At the end of the day, if you say that it isn't actually equality because Black can't be made white but white characters can be made Black, you'd be correct. It's not equality; it's equity. There has to be equity because giving everyone the same treatment when one group has a higher advantage isn't equality anyway.

Normalize blocking people who irritate you. No interacting with their post no privately messaging just blocking. It does wonders lol. I like spamming ignorant peoples comments like most but sometimes it’s good to hit block and move on. I learned that sometimes you don’t always need a put your 2 cents in. I mean, the block button is right there you might as well use it. Anyway my block list is so fucking full😭🤣but not as full as the one on my tiktok and I’m proud of it.

Have any of y’all seen the anime gangsta? It is criminally underrated! Dr. Theo and Worick are the love of my life🤗 This anime is so short tho needs more episodes needs more manga volumes. I want to know more about Alex‘s backstory and all that. Anyway if you want a new anime to binge watch, give gangsta a try!

Saw the trailer for the live action little mermaid and almost cried. My girl Halle Bailey looked so good!🥲 What I find a little annoying is the racist backlash. At your big age you’re doing all this hooping and hollering over a fucking mermaid? What, so mermaids can’t be black now? I’ve been seeing a lot of “What if we turned Tiana from Princess and the frog white?” “but but ariel being black is going to mess up the story!🥺” First of all, Tiana being white will be bad because it will mess with her character. The adaptation Disney went with is about about a young hard working black woman in 1920’s Louisiana. If they wanted the main character to be white, I think they would’ve used Tiana‘s best friend,Lottie. This also goes for the other Minority princesses like Mulan, Pocahontas, Jasmine etc. Second of all, the little mermaid is about a mermaid who wants to walk on land so her race won’t interfere with the story. Just admit you don’t like to see a black woman shine and move on. I promise it takes less work than grasping at straws trying to find an excuse. If it bothers you so much, just watch the original or one of those bootlegged little mermaid movies! “#NotMyAriel!” “ I’m not going to watch it!🤬” Ok good I don’t think Ariel would like you anyway lol But guess what my black ass will be watching on May 2023🥳🙌🏾🤡🤡🤡 any racist comments will be blocked because I like blocking people 🥰👋🏾

Did you know that if you give y/n red hair or blond,brown,purple,green,blue and blue,green,brown,and teal eyes that Is no longer y/n that is your own oc

[celestial-simping]

My biggest pet peeve is when they give y/n a name….. like come on, y/n literally means “your name” as in the reader’s name as in the reader should be the one who choose the name not the author.
